strength

i needed to hear all of these quotes.
have a lovely Wednesday.

Remember, You're a STRONG Woman (or man)

becoming domestic. part 1

1 - easy peasy...went shopping (in my CLOSET) and found some gems.  getting ready for the day is fun again

2 - tastee zuccini

3 - a fabulous (gluten free) meal i made last eve

moving into the condo has opened my eyes to a whole new world.  don't get me wrong, i loved being at home with mi familia, but there is something so...refreshing about being on my own again.  i have this need to create again.  i've awoken something inside of me that has been sleeping for the past little while.

last night i came home and tried a new meal.  it's so much easier to cook for more than one person, so i baked a delish meal for the roomie and i.

i saw this zuccini on pinterest and decided to give it a go.

2 large (fresh) zuccini

1/2 stick of softened butter

garlic salt

grated mozzarella cheese

basically, i washed the zuccini, cut it up, into thick slices and laid it on a cookie sheet.

i then took the softened butter and mixed in some garlic salt (i like LOVE garlic fyi)

then you spread the butter mixture onto the zuccini

place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake on 350 for about 15-20 minutes.

remove the cookie sheet from the oven and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top

place the cookie sheet back into the oven (set oven to BROIL) for about 5-10 minutes

and voila!  you have a tasty (and mildly healthy) veggie to go with your pasta.

brace yourselves, i am going to be doing a whole lot more baking these days, now that I'm domestic and all.... (yeah right...)
